REPORT 



BOUIDAUY LINE COMMISSIONERS 



KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE. 



To the Hon, B. Magoffin, Governor of Kentucky: 

Under the provisions of an act passed by the General Assembly of Ten- 
nessee, at their October session, 1857, and another passed by the General 
Assembly of Kentucky, at their December session of the same year, we 
were appointed by the proper authorities of the two States, commissioners 
to fix and establish, have run and remarked, the line of boundary separat- 
ing them ; and having executed the work assigned us, beg leave respect- 
fully to report: 

The first article of the compact between the two States reads in these 
words: "The line of boundary and separation between the States of Ken- 
tucky and Tennessee shall be as follows, to-wit: The line run by the Vir- 
ginia commissioners in 1779-80, commonly called Walker's line, as the 
same is reputed, understood, and acted upon by the said States, their 
respective authorities and citizens, from the southeastern corner of Ken- 
tucky to the Tennessee river; thence up the said river to the point where 
the line of Alexander and Munsell, run by them the last year, would leave 
said river; and then witli tiie line of Alexander and Munsell to the termin- 
ation thereof, on the Mississppi river, near to and below New Madrid." 



4 BOUNDARY ST7RVEY. 

The laws under wliieh we are acting required that we should begin our 
line on the Mississipi river, and run eastward. It may be proper for us, 
therefore, in the first place, to refer briefly to the one run by Alexander 
and Munsell in 1819, and by Henderson in 1821, from the Tennessee to the 
Mississippi river, and to some of the facts presented to us on that portion 
of it. 

The line of Alexander and Munsell was intended, and believed to be, on 
the parallel of 3G° 80' of north latitude. They ascertained, as they sup- 
posed, the proper point on the Tennessee river, and started their surveyors 
westward ; but the point so ascertained was upon the parallel of 36° 29' 54\ 
and of course too far south by some 600 feet. They then floated down the 
Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississij^pi rivers to a point something over two 
miles above the head of island No. 10; had there determined the parallel 
of latitude again, and long and anxiously been waiting the arrival of their 
surveyors. They, in their westward course, had tended northward so 
much that when they reached the Green-timber arm of Eeelfoot lake — a 
distance of some sixty-eight miles — the}' were north of their starting point 
about 3,600 feet, and of the latitudinal line about 3,000 feet. They con- 
cluded that these arms of the lake, swamjis, ponds, and bayous, were im- 
passible — and no wonder. Nothing like them are to be seen in either 
State, unless it be southwardl}'; the country was sparsely populated; the 
Indian title to the lands but recently extinguished b}^ the treaty of Jack- 
son and Shelby, and tliej^ about being brought into market. None but 
old pioneers, or those who always march in advance of civilization, knew 
anything about it. They went around all these apparent obstructions to 
the Mississippi river, where the State line going west first crosses it; and 
here they met the commissioners. The parallel of latitude here deter- 
mined coincided with ours very nearly. The surveyors were started back, 
with the view of striking the lake on its Avestern shore opposite to the 
point where they had been stopped by it on the other; but after running 
274 poles, encountering a pond and heavy cane-brake, they again stopped 
short of the western shore of the lake near three miles, and short of where 
they had stopped on the other over five. They neither run or marked 
this portion of the line, but left it as the}' found it, untouched — not sup- 
posing, as we are willing to believe, that they were more than half a mile 
south of their stopping place on the other side. They then returned to 
the point just left on the Mississippi river, triangulated around Missouri 
Bend, so called, to a point in Madrid Bend about one mile below the foot 
of island No. 10, and then run across said bend to its western side, on the 
bank of the Mississippi river, at a point on the parallel of 36° 29' 56^ of 
•north latitude — too far south by some 400 feet. From this point we started

our line eastward, and followed the one run by these commissioncrR, with 
exceptions which we will name. They not only tended nortliward from 
the Tennessee river to the eastern shore of the (Jrecn-tiniber arm of Eeel- 
foot lake, as a whole, hut were making angles almost continual!}', though 
ver}' small ones, hut to such an extent that, at the end of some 08 miles, 
they were north of the starting point some 3,600 feet. To run any lialf 
mile of their whole line, and then produce it each Avay for half a mile, 
neither of the last Avould have followed the course of the first in more than 
one or two instances. We endeavored to straighten this line somewhat 
by making points at each quarter section corner — that is, every half mile 
nearly — and connecting these jjoints by direct lines. We also run the line 
across Eeelfoot lake, and the swamps, ponds, and baj'ous adjacent thereto, 
and marked it all the way — a work never performed before — and we were 
about four Aveeks engaged at it. We placed a stone at the end of the 274 
poles before named, engraving upon it the course to the stopj)ing jioint on 
the eastern shore of the lake, to-wit : "N. 83° 40' 19' E." 

Henderson, in 1821, run the same line from the Tennessee river to the 
Green-timber arm of Reelfoot lake, and then produced it to the Mississippi 
river, on the parallel of 36° 30' 32' of north latitude, or 3,200 feet, or 
thereabouts, north of the true point. This he made his base line in section- 
izing the lands south and west of the Tennessee river. Across Madrid 
Bend he followed the line of Alexander and Munsell precisely. 

The laws reqiiired us to place stone posts every five miles. The first one 
would have fallen in the State of Missouri, and of course it was not placed 
there, but was marked "No. 1 — 10 miles," and put in the ground 310 feet 
West of the western shore of the eastage or Avestern arm of rieelfoot lake, 
ten miles ti-om the starting point on the west side of Madrid Bend. We 
then had them placed every succeeding five miles, or nearly so — sometimes 
falling short, and again going over somewhat, in order to get to places 
where persons would have an opportunity of seeing and knowing where 
the State line was, instead of placing them precisely five miles apart, in 
out of the way places, on mountain tops, in deep ravines, or in cultivated 
fields, where but few, if anj^ persons would be likely ever to see them. 
These stones, in number 63, have "Ky." and "Tenn.," their number, and 
their distance in miles from the starting point, engraved on appropriate 
sides of each. 

AVe also placed 11 smaller stones at the crossings of rivers, and at obtuse 
angles on the line. On the Mobile and Ohio railroad — on the turnpike 
road from Bowling-Green to Nashville, where the black-jack stands, and 
on the turnpike road from Glasgow to same place — we also placed stones

We may as well say in this connection, as elsewhere, that the putting in 
of the stone posts has cost a large sum of money; much larger than we 
anticipated when leaving home for the line. There are no stone west of 
the Tennessee river. We had all of them excejit two prepared in Bowl- 
ing-Green, at a cost of $345 21 ; this was exclusive of the cost arising 
from membei'S of the corps being compelled to go back to points, more or 
less distant, according as we had progressed with the survey of the line, 
to see them placed. We had yet a small and a five mile stone to be put 
in west of the Tennessee river. Those already put in had been shipped 
by water to Evansville, and again to Paducah, Columbus, Hickman, and 
Compromise, and then by railroad or wagons, as best suited us, to the 
points where wanted. We found that they had been much delayed by 
contractors, shippers, commission merchants, or wharf-masters ; one, more 
than one, or all, to su< h an extent, that one of us had to go more than 
once to hunt them up, and know of their whereabouts, and the causes of 
their delay. Inasmuch as Ave Avere now approaching, and near to a 
country of limestone, we determined to try another, and we hoped a bet- 
ter plan, of having them pi'cpared and placed in their proper positions. 
For this purpose we hired a mason, boarded him, and kept him Avith us; 
but he could or would do nothing; whether for want of energy or capa- 
city — one or both — or from an absence or scarcity of the right kind of 
rock, we can't say. It appeared to us, that from the Cumberhmd river, 
eastAvard, stone of every grade might have been found in great abund- 
ance. Yet, being poor judges of such things, we may be, and possibly 
are, mistaken. HoAvcver, as he jirofessed to be unable to do anything to 
forward our Avork, avc dismissed him, and then determined, if Ave could, to 
get some one to prepare and put them in at his oaa'u costs and charges, for 
a specified sum for each stone. After getting about one hundred miles 
ahead of our last stone put in, and tiying in Nashville and clscAvhere to 
get some one to undertake the whole job, we finally contracted Avith Mr. 
S. W. Stanley, of Warren county, Kentucky, to have prejiarcd and placed 
in their proper positions, all the remainder, at $20 each. This appears a 



BOUNDARY SURVEY. 7 

high price; but when we consider the difficulty of getting these stone at 
points near or adjacent to their proper places, and the mountainous region 
through which you have to pass to get to them, and the great expense of 
doing all this, we may arrive at a different conclusion. We are now sta- 
tioned a short distance east of Cumberland Gap, in full view of both cor- 
ners, where almost all that j'ou see except vegetation is stone, and all that 
you don't see, stone; yet, we have seen Mr. Stanley and two hands work 
six days in preparing our last stone, then abandon it; try another four 
days and abandon it; another one day and leave it; another five days and 
abandon it; he then went across the mountain twelve miles, and has 
gotten one which will take him six days to prepare and put in the ground. 
Thus it is seen that it will require twenty-two days to finish this one stone; 
this, however, is an isolated, extreme case. The wages of his hands, and 
board of himself and them, will cost over one hundred dollars. 

We now come eastward to the line run by Walker and other commis- 
sioners; and because some of them have given a very different construc- 
tion as to the meaning of the first article of the compact quoted in the be- 
ginning of this report from ours, we may be excused for saying what ours 
is, more especially as we have acted in accordance therewith. Bright and 
Munsell, who run the line in 1830, across the southern borders of Allen, 
Simjison, and Trigg counties, look upon the article in question as very 
ambiguous and diflicult to be understood ; and they enter into a tedious 
critical examination of the whole to show what must have been intended, 
or to reconcile the antagonistic features of several of its parts, as though 
such men as Grundy and Brown, of Tennessee, and Crittenden and Trim- 
ble, of Kentucky, could not, in simple language, give expression to their 
thoughts; and they came to the conclusion that they were only author- 
ized, or rather, that they were compelled to run "Walker's line" when 
they found it, and when they could not find it, his reputed one; when 
they could not find cither, they have not told us what they would have 
done. 

To us the language of this article is remarkably plain — could not have 
been made plainer. It is not simply 'the line run by the Virginia com- 
missioners in 1779-80," that we Avere to run; nor the line run by said 
commissioners, "commonly called AValker's line," but it is said line — not 
lines — it is the same, as it is "reputed, understood, and acted upon by the 
said States." We had nothing to do with " the line run by the Virginia 
commissioners in 1779-80, commonly called Walker's line," unless the same 
runs over the precise ground that the line "commonly called Walker's 
line" does, "as the same is reputed, understood, and acted upon by the said 
States." We had nothing to do with any lino but the one "commonly 



8 BOUNDARY SURVEY. 

called "Walker's line" — not necessarily as he run it, but "as the same 
is reputed, understood, and acted upon bj' the said States, their authori- 
ties, and citizens." We had nothing to do with any line but the reputed 
one. That is made, by the compact, " the line of boundary and separa- 
tion" between the two States, and we have felt constrained to run it as 
near as we could. If every portion of it is not run precisely as each 
desired it should run, yet it is so run as to meet our approval and acquies- 
cence, if not our entire and cordial approbation. Thei'e may have been 
places, and no doubt were, where matters of very small importance would 
not have been settled as they have been, but for their utter insignificance 
when impeding the settling of others of much higher import. 

They speak of having seen trees, many times, marked by Walker — 
blocked them, and counted their annulations — -and from a perfect coinci- 
dence of dates, wei-e satisfied of their being such. They say that his mark 
was two chops, a blaze, and again two chops, fore and aft. If they ever 
saw such trees, they destroyed all evidence of their having been such as 
they described them, by blazing out and destroying all the chops. We 
saw many trees which appeared to have been so served ; but for what con- 
ceivable purpose Ave cannot imagine, unless that all who should follow 
them would be compelled to rely solel}" upon what they say, instead of 
upon nature and nature's God. One solitary mark will show its age as 
well as a thousand. Millions can add nothing to its verity. The one mark 
speaks the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, as Heaven 
itself speaks it. There is nothing that can add to or subtract from the 
story it tells. We are satisfied that they never saw a Walker line-tree, or 
have misstated its characteristics. We have seen many of them, east of the 
southeast corner of Kentucky, to-wit: the seven pines and two black-oaks, 
for several miles, and as far westward as he professes to have run this por- 
tion of it — that is, to the Clear Fork of Cumberland river — -and they were 
uniformly marked with three chops fore and aft. Westward of the Chnir 
Fork, we have seen but one solitary tree that we felt fully assured was 
marked by Walker's corps. It was a large beech, more than three feet in 
diameter, standing on the cast bank of the main East Fork of lied river, 
some mile and a half below the mouth of Whipporwill, on the southern 
border of Logan county, and marked with a hatchet very narrow in the 
blftde, with three chops, fore and aft. It had a great number of names cut 
in the bark — the most of which are illegible — and the date " 11 March, 
1780." On other beech trees near to the large one, we saw the names of 
'James West, 11th March, 1780," and "Isaac Bledsoe, 11 March, 1780." 
Wc suj)pose that these men were a portion of Walker's corps. All the 
chops had the appearance of being very ancient, and had doubtless been 



BOUNDARY SURVEV. 9 

made by Walker's party. AVc did not block any of them, thinking it a 
shame that every vestige of Walker ever having run the line should bo 
obliterated. We were fully satisfied without doing it, and the beech stands 
there now, as it did when the surveyoi's of 1779-80 left it, not seeming to 
have lost any of its vigor by the lapse of ages. There was also a post-oak 
standing near the 110 mile-stone, which we caused to be blocked, and were 
of the impression that it had been marked by Walker's party. The 
annual growths, however, were so small, the tree so much decayed to- 
wards the heart, and the date of the marks so uncertain, that wc could not 
determine anything satisfactory to our own minds in regard thereto. 
These two are all the trees which we saw west of Cumberland river, at its 
first crossing, going west, upon which we could place anj' reliance that 
they had been marked by AYalker or his party. We were fully satisfied 
in regard to the beech; not so as to the post-oak — which was marked as 
the beech, three chops fore and aft. After seeing the beech we were moi*e 
disposed to regard the post-oak as having been marked by Walker, and are 
now willing to so regard it. 

Munsell and Bright run their line by the magnetic instead of the true 
meridian; took the variation of the needle, so far as we know, or they 
have informed us, but once, and ran their several lines by the variation 
then shown, as though it could not or would not change. They run their 
lines, supposing the variation to have been 6° 45' east. We have found it 
to be from ,^° 30' to 8° 00' on the same ground. IIow could tlun' but liavo 
blundered, running thus? They give neither course or distance in their 
report; but an examination of their map will show, that after running a 
few hundred yards, or perhaps a mile or more, and tinding themselves oflf 
from the line, according to the say-so of some adjacent landholder, from 
twenty to one hundred and fifty or more feet, they made direct angles to 
it, and then go on again on their old course ; so that it may be said truly, 
if they were ever on the line of Walker, they did not continue on it a sin- 
gle foot, but diverged from it, northward or southward, immediately after 
starting. They marked all these lines with two chops, a blaze, and again 
two chops, fore and aft. We were often in full view of trees thus marked 
on both sides of us, north and south, twenty or more feet distant. 

In 1845, Nance, Wilson, Duncan, and McLean, run three miles across 
the southern border of Christian county, all that part of Trigg county 
which lies east of Cumberland river, and all that portion of Fulton county 
lying west of Reelfoot hills. From these hills westward they ran pre- 
cisely as Alexander and Munsell had in 1819, and no further — leaving 
unrun, unmai-ked, and untouched, something over five miles. We were 
nearly as long in i-unning eight miles, including this five, as they were out

from home, and running, as they say, thirty. They also ran a new line, 
connecting the eastern terminus of a line from Lineport out, near three 
miles, with the western terminus, as they say, of Walker's line, which, if 
produced, would have crossed Cumberland river near to and below the 
mouth of Saline creek. 

In 1821, Steele and Looney ran the line from the seven pines and two 
black-oaks, southeastern corner of Kentucky, to the first crossing of 
Cumberland river going west. They started on the Cumberland moun- 
tain, precisely where Walker had crossed it, on the parallel of 36° 34' 53\5 
of north latitude — more than five and a half miles north of the latitudinal 
line — and they struck the Cumberland river between the mouth of Kettle 
creek on the east, and McFarland's creek on the west, on the parallel of 
3G° 37' of north latitude, more than eight miles north of the latitudinal 
line. They make the distance, by measurement, from the southeast corner 
of Kentucky to Cumberland river, at this point, one hundred and fourteen 
miles; Walker had made it, by measurement and estimate, one hundred 
and nineteen ; and we now make it only five hundred and sixteen thou- 
sand and forty -three feet, or ninety-seven and a half miles, and twelve hun- 
dred and forty -three feet. They make the distance from the seven pines 
and two black-oaks, southeastern corner of Kentucky, to Cumberland 
Gap, one mile and a half and twelve poles, or eight thousand one hundred 
and eighteen feet; we make it nine thousand five hundred and ten feet, 
or one and three fourth miles, sixteen poles, and two yards; they make it 
from Kettle creek to Cumberland river, two miles, or ten thousand five 
hundred and sixty feet; we make it one half mile and twenty-six poles, or 
three thousand and seventy feet. We are fully ^lersuaded that we are as 
nearly correct as men can reasonably expect to be when measuring through 
such a country — over hills and mountains, from a few to fifteen hundred 
or more feet high. 

The commissioners of whom Ave are now speaking ran little or none of 
this line west of the Clear Fork of Cumberland river; if they did, we 
have been so unfortunate as to see but few of their marks. The country 
is mountainous and precipitous, and, directly on the line, not accessible to 
men on horseback, and scarcely so to young active footmen. There are 
many consecutive miles without a mark that we could find. Old men who 
then lived, and now live on it, say that they walked around many miles — 
five, ten, or more — on the best ground, shown them by pilots, without 
markijig a tree, stretching a chain, or sticking a Jacob-staff. They give 
their distances in miles from one notorious point to another on the line — 
don't descend to furlongs, poles, yards, or feet — not even to half or quarter 
miles; and yet the course they ran, and the distances to various objects as 



BOUNDARY SURVEY. 11 

they passed aloiirr, arc given in the laws of both States as the established 
boundary between them, and are now obligatory on both, if anything can 
be found on the ground at all corresponding with what is said on paper. 

As we stated before, our line commences on the Mississippi river, on the 
west side of Madrid bend, some five and a half mileo below New Madrid, 
and then runs as shown by the words and figures which follow, to-wit;

92 BOUNDARY SURVEY. 

We have had rnn and marked every foot of the line, from its western 
termiuus on the Mississippi river, to its eastern one on Cumberland moun- 
tain, at the seven pines and two black-oaks, where we placed a small stone 
— a large one can scarcely be gotten to this point, because of the steepness 
of the mountain. We then ran along its apex to the Tennessee and Yir- 
ginia corner, a chestnut-oak, where we placed another small stone; and 
continuing along the mountain top to Cumberland Gap, and placed a 
large stone Avhere the old Wilderness road, loading into Virginia, diverges 
from the one leading down Powell's vallej^, and across to Bean's station. 
We had engraved upon it, on the 

West side. I JSast side.

Most of the jiines, and both oaks, southeast corner of Kentucky, are 
gone — have rotted down ; and inasmuch as you cannot run a direct line 
from the stone placed in the gap, to said corners on the mountain, we 
placed another near a sulphur spring, on the land of Mr. John G. Newlee, 
as a pointer to both, engraving upon it, "S. 48° 14' W., to stone at seven 
pines and two black-oaks, Ky. and Tenn. corner," and "N. 55° 35' W., to 
stone at chestnut oak, Tenn. and Va. corner," on the Kentucky line. By' 
observing of these inscriptions, any one sufficiently active and muscular 
can find either with a pocket compass. 

We had a path cut on the whole line where necessary, removing all 
trees and bushes, and everything else, so as to give an unobstructed view 
through the telescope of the transit. Trees north or south, and within 
five feet of this line, were marked with four chops, fore and aft. Those 
on the north had K, those on the south T, cut in the bark, representing 
Kentucky and Tennessee, and each facing the line. 

AYe have endeavored to serve the States which trusted us, with honesty, 
fidelity, and industry, and with such ability as God has given us. We 
have worked and labored as some of us have never worked and labored

before. We had undtTtakcn to settle a dispute of long standing between 
two great Commonwealths — a dispute whicli they had inherite*! ii-oni their 
parent States, and they from those who held under the monarehs of CJreat 
Britain — and we very mueh disliked to turn back when troubles and dif- 
ficulties intervened — troubles that arose not only from the infirmity of 
poor human nature, but from physical causes that met us on every side, 
on a very considerable j^ortion of the line. 

We have had run and marked the entire line from one end to the other, 
omitting no part of it; leaving, as we confidently believe, nothing undone 
required of us by law. We have gone over the whole ground, examined 
ever}' portion of the line, finished the work, and made, as we sincerely 
hope, a finality of it. If, indeed, we have done so much, we may bo 
excused for feeling proud of it. Abler men have tried it, and oidy made 
confusion worse confounded. Some degree of credit may also be awarded 
us, if for nothing else, for perseverance under difficulties neither few or 
trivial, and successfully carrying through a line where all others had 
failed. 

JVIany, very many, thousands of dollars have been expended to have 
this line of boundary and separation settled and established forever; and 
the whole matter in dispute, in the year eighteen hundred and fifty-eight, 
was in a greater state of confusion, more unsettled, and less likely to be 
settled amicably, than it had been at any period siibsequent to the execu- 
tion of the compact between the two States, and still getting worse, and 
would probably have continued to get worse for all coming tinie, as the 
older men died who may haA^e had some knowledge twiching the matters 
we have had under consideration, and canvassed from day to day as wo 
passed along the line. 

The precise position of the line was fixed in the minds of those living and 
owning lands on it, at, com])aratively speaking, very few points, and only 
where clever, intelligent, amicably disposed gentlemen resided on each 
Bide. Along the southern borders of Christian, Todd, and Logan counties, 
Kentucky, and northern borders of Montgomery and Robertson counties, 
Tennessee ; or, rather from the one hundred to the one hundred and six- 
tieth mile-stone, the land is remarkabl}' good — no one needs or desires 
better; many of the farmers own on both sides of the line, and care, indi- 
vidually, very little about its exact position. Our line will enable the two 
States to exercise jurisdiction over their entire territory, and collect taxes 
upon all the land within the borders of either. East of Cumberland river, 
in the mountains, where there are, or ought to be, something near a dozen 
county corners, the settlers on or near the line could show us none. They 
knew that they were said to bo in certain localities, but where, exactly, 
they could not say. They neither kncAV the county or State they lived in. 



94 BOUNDARY SURVEY. 

It is doubtful whether many of these county corners were ever fixed and 
marked, for want of knowledge in regard to the position of the State line. 
Our five-mile stones will enable surveyors and others to remedy this evil, 
and give permanency to the line. In a short time any one can determine 
its i^ositioii at any given point; and thus our citizens can have public 
offenders against the laws of either State punished, by indictment and 
trial in the State where the offense Avas committed, which is far, very far, 
from having been the case heretofore. Persons on the line understood that 
it ran by certain farms — that this man lived in Tennessee, and that in 
Kentucky; but we doubt oxceedinglj'^ Avhether there was a solitary mile 
on the whole line where a murder might not have been committed, and 
men of intelligence and acknowledged integrity would not have sworn, 
some that it was committed in Tennessee, others, that it was in Kentucky ; 
and thus, in manj^ cases, a murderer goes iinwhipt of justice. Our line 
will make it easy to settle all such difficulties, and give to the honest por- 
tion of the communitj' an opportunit}* of having punished thieves, coun- 
terfeiters, murderers, and public offenders of every grade. 

We have been a long time, several months, almost a year, on the line, 
and have been several weeks bringing up the notes, and reducing the 
angles and astronomical observations, preparatory to making out this 
report. It may appear unnecessarily long to those unacquainted with the 
country over which we have run the line — the difficulties encountered and 
overcome at many points — and the kind of service rendered; it appears 
especially long to those of us who had wives, children, and friends at 
home, and debarred their society all this while ; and yet more esj^ecially 
does it appear long to men who have exchanged the comforts of the family 
circle, and the pleasures of social intercourse, for the companionship of 
beasts of prey, venomous serpents, and vile creeping things without num- 
ber, as was the case with us on more than one third of the line. 

Should the two States approve of what we have done, and establish the 
line wo have had run, we respectfully suggest the propriety of each passing 
a law, providing that the title of individuals to lands shall not be affected 
by it, but remain as though we had not run it. and they had not approved 
of it. 

"We think it our <lutT, and it is one which we perform with much pleas- 
ure, to say of the members of the two corps under our charge, without 
naming or particularizing any individual, that they have performed cheer- 
fully, willingly, and industriously, every duty imposed on them, in the sev- 
eral positions each occupied. The}'^ have cut their way through heavy cane- 
brakes for miles; they have waded through mud, mire, swamps, ponds, and 
lakes, where the water was from a fcAV inches to more than two feet deep, 
breaking, as they went along, ice near an inch thick ; they have groped 



BOUNDARY SURVEY. 95 

their way tlii'ougli brambles and thickets, and over miles of sharp, flinty 
stone, tliat tore their apparel to pieces in a very short time ; they have 
clambered over hills and mountains, from a few hundred to near two 
thousand feet high; and they have scaled and mounted over clift's, to the 
manifest danger of life and limb, -whose tops reached above the lower 
clouds. They knew of our determination to run, nut only so much of the 
line as had been run heretofore, but to run the whole line, as it never had 
been run ; and hence they were always ready to work when we called 
them — went at it willingly and without grumbling. To them much, we Avill 
say most; of the credit is due for our having been able to carry a line suc- 
cessfully through and finish it, which no one has ever done before, although 
charged with the doing of it. Two sets of commissioners had tried the 
bottoms of the Mississipi)i river, including Reclfoot lake, and the numerous 
swamps, ponds, and baj'^ous appurtenant thereto, and had failed to run and 
mark several miles of it. Another set had tried the mountains, and also 
failed. AVe have run the whole, omitting no part of it, and now wish to 
acknowledge in a public manner, freely, fully, and frankly, that for having 
been able to do this, great credit is due to the working juen of each corps. 
It will, of course, be understood that all tliis is said by the commissioners 
of their respective corjjs ; but each appi'ove of all that is said. 

"We give below the names of the two corps; their time of service; their 
daily or monthly pay ; the sura earned by each ; the sum paid to each, and 
noAV due to each :

Wo have passed over sections of country where the people were dying 
in numbers sufficient to attract not only the observation of residents, but 
of strangers. We have run over the line — the whole line — from one end 
to the other, and through a country where diseases must prevail every year 
to a "considerable extent. We have run it all unscathed and unharmed 
seriously; we have had a few, very few, cases of chills, which were easily 
managed. We had another case, in the person of Mr. J. P. Wooten, assist- 
ant commissary of the Kentucky corps, who came to the line through a 
long continued damp, I'ainy spell of weather, in delicate health, which did 
not improve, but rather got Avorse, until early in April he was compelled 
to leave for his fathers house, and a sick bed, which he scared}^ left but 
for the grave. 

For all these mercies, continued to us from day to day, and not inter- 
mitted a single moment — for having guided us on our way hitherward, and 
for having guarded us "from the pestilence that walketh in darkness, and 
the destruction that wasteth at noonday," we desire in our own names, 
and the names of the corps under our charge, to render our sincere and 
heartfelt thanks to the Glreat Almighty Euler and Father of us all. 
Done in duplicate, and signed this 11th day of November, 1859.
